Pumpkin Dessert

1. 1

   Cut off the rind, remove the pips, and cut away the stringy bits.

2. 2

   Cut the pumpkin into pieces of about 1 1/4 inches.

3. 3

   Put them in a wide saucepan with about 1/2 cup water and cook with a tight lid on (so that they steam) over low heat for about 15 minutes, or until tender.

4. 4

   The pumpkin will release its own juice.

   Serve cold, sprinkled with chopped walnuts.
